Roger Goodell: International expansion remains "very possible"

Our Summary

Bad Bunny has been selected for the Super Bowl LX halftime show as part of the NFL's strategy to globalize the sport. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged the possibility of establishing a team outside the United States, indicating that international expansion is still under consideration. Goodell suggested that a division of European teams could be a feasible future development, although it would require significant structural changes to the league. This expansion could potentially increase the league from 32 to 36 teams, or even up to 40, with the possibility of establishing divisions in Europe and the Pacific region, including countries like Japan and China. The NFL's international efforts, which began with a regular-season game in London in 2007, aim to transform the league into a global entity, significantly increasing its financial potential.
